All the sodium has to be shipped in from New York City? Where would these monster movies be if the characters had access to Amazon?

So, despite the fact that there have been numerous horrible murders committed by MUTANT SEA MONSTERS in a quiet little town and that this fact has found it's way to the outside world ( Since the 3 soon to be eaten women in the convertible knew about it before coming into town ) Neither the State or Federal authorities feel the need to help combat the evil menace in any way and instead it's up to a pipe smoking knucklehead and his bland sports car driving assistant to save the day.
Thank God for Eulabelle!

Okay, we're all in agreement that Eullabelle is the hero of this movie right? She discovered that sodium kills the monsters, then she had to tell that lazy jerk to get of his butt and keep looking for the sodium, THEN she told the doctor where the monsters where coming from. I mean, come on.

This is one of the harder movies to watch for me. There is something uniquely clunky and off-putting about this movie that makes it hard for me to watch. Nonetheless, I watch because I feel it's my moral duty to sit alongside Mike and the bots.

Considering how Eulabelle has to inspire the white protagonists to every step they take against the monsters, she should go into business with Vanhino as high-paid assistants to incompetent heroes.

I love how this movie places the 'hero' in the position of trying to force a girl to come with him against her wishes, and a 'villainous' type in the role of, "Hey, let her do what she wants." I mean, that works if the girl is twelve years old or ridiculously drunk or otherwise not in her right mind... but Tina isn't.

Didn’t you find it just a bit SUSPICIOUS that: this movie was shot in 1963 and released in 1964; while the DRUNK guy in the dark suit also played an FBI agent in the movie JFK which was released in 1991 and set in 1966 about the events of 1963?! Yet, the prices on the gas pump when the New York girls tanked up appeared to be: .26 cents a gallon for regular but .36 cents a gallon for HIGH TEST!
I think you know where I am going with this….
Conveniently, Hank sports a tennis sweater in the last act of the movie; however, no tennis racket or any other associated ACCOUTREMENT of the game is ever visible! And finally, the periodic table symbol for SODIUM is NA! All just a simple coincidence? Ha, hardly!

This episode contains one of those moments in some episodes where either something on the screen or something one of the bots said cracks Mike up and you hear him chuckle. Whenever Mike cracks and laughs uncontrollably you can tell the guys are having fun. Near the end when the elderly scientist awkwardly jumps off a rock at Fingle's Quarry and starts slapping one of the monsters like an abusive drunk. Crow jumps in with, "Hey! Hey! You spill my drink buddy?! Huh!?" It gets me every time.
